Reports coming out of Japan indicate that the Red Sox are the choice of coveted amateur pitcher Junichi Tazawa, a 22-year-old righthander who idolizes Daisuke Matsuzaka. Sankei Sports reported on Thursday that Tazawa told an associate that he has agreed to a three-year major league deal with the Red Sox, placing him on Boston's 40-man roster. The official announcement is expected on Dec. 1 according to the report.

Good morning, Fact. I was just reading a long article about the Tigers on ESPN. You might be interested.

Did you have a good Thanksgiving?

November 28, 2008  08:26 AM ET

Anyone know a little about this pitcher? Is he a starter or a reliever?

November 28, 2008  08:28 AM ET

Morning Fact. And YES, the lightsaber is lit....... And goodmoring Slink. Anyone else working the day after Thanksgiving is worthy of respect.
If he is a reliever, who will the sox drop down? and if he is a starter.. I would guess that would mean they will not pursue Lowe or Burnett this offseason..?
